“Eva was so great with our pets. We know it can be a lot to have 3 high energy pets in an NYC apartment but she took such incredible care of them. They were happy and relaxed when we got back! She was also so flexible when our flight was canceled and we had to stay out of town an extra day—it was seriously such a relief to know that even though our travel experience was awful, the bebes were in good hands! 10/10.”
“Kennedy took care of our baby Luna dog for 2 weeks while we were away, and she was absolutely amazing! We never had a chance to miss Luna too much because we received two daily updates with photos before we slept and after we woke up. She managed daily medication, cleaning of a small wound and even took Luna to the vet for her monthly injection. She was very responsive, easy to communicate with and we loved working with her. She even brought in our packages and left our house clean. Thank you Kennedy!!!”
“Schirn was incredible! She made sure to give updates and showed a lot of love for my girl. My flight was delayed and she extended an extra night for us. I truly am so grateful for someone caring for our dog this way!!”
“Miranda is the best!!! She was happy todo a meet & greet as my dog Bernie can be a bit anxious but she took to Miranda’s calm and friendly demeanor right away. Bernie had the absolute best week going on adventures and walks with Miranda and she took great care of my apartment as well. Highly recommend!!! After my flight home was canceled and I couldn’t get back for another day, Miranda was a huge lifesaver by being able to add an extra night on.”
“Justin was a great sitter for our Dobie Chief! My husband and I went away for a long weekend and last minute reached out to Justin for home sitting care having never booked him for before. He was quick to respond and was kindly flexible to agree to coming at 11am the next day and staying for the weekend duration. We had a brief meet and greet and departed for our destination. Justin is very calm, kind and asked great questions. We felt very comfortable right away and he did great with Chief. Definitely book Justin for your dog sitting need! We will be reaching out to him again for sure.”
“Avary was unbelievably kind, thoughtful, and considerate when caring for my spoiled Pomeranian and staying at my apartment! She was transparent and provided frequent updates without being prompted and soothed this anxious dog mom’s nerves :) She was thorough in following instructions and went above and beyond on her last day taking care of my dog and apartment. Gem of a human and I’m beyond grateful to have picked Avary as our sitter!”
About: I've had a passion for animals since I was a child, which led me to pursue a path in veterinary studies during college. While my cat doesn't live with me, she has been a huge teacher in both emotional and physical pet care. Her unique needs have helped me develop a deeper understanding of animal behavior and the importance of attention to detail when it comes to their well-being. My experience with pets extends beyond just care—I bring patience, love, and knowledge to ensure your furry friends feel safe and comfortable. I currently work full-time remotely which gives me ample time and ability to give my full attention to pets in need of care. My weekends are also open which gives me flexibility for last minute requests I have an apartment which has a fenced courtyard downstairs suitable for short walks. I am also physically capable of outside walking- I live in a residential area that is safe and away from commercial zones that could be overwhelming for sensitive pets.
“Jasmine was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of all three of our dogs, catering to each of their individual needs. The level of care she provided to our dogs allowed us to enjoy our trip even more knowing they were in great hands. I would recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dogs. We look forward to working with Jasmine again in the future. We couldn’t thank her enough.”
“Shaveone was extremely communicative and always easily reachable, including always quickly responded! I left her {very} detailed instructions, which she followed with no issues. I feel at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands, and would be happy to book her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a dog mom working from home every day, so I'm almost always available and have a super flexible schedule. I love taking dogs for long walks, and have a great fenced in private front and back patio for your dog to run around. I have a ~35 lb golden doodle who is super friendly, so please only reach out if your baby is good with other dogs! :) I’ve been pet sitting for as long as I can remember - it was even my full time job while I was in college. I have experience working with all ages, sizes and breeds so you can rest assured that your dog is getting the best care possible!
“Amber was a great dogsitter for our 8yo and 13yo pups! As soon as we booked the session, she was able to stop by to meet them and get a general download of info. For the actual sitting appt, she was on time and ready to take them on a walk, feed them dinner, and have a relaxing night together. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Lia is a phenomenal house sitter who took amazing care of our two dogs while we were traveling out of town. It’s clear that she clicked with our dogs, and they became instant friends. She stayed in touch with us and provided timely updates throughout. She followed our instructions closely and even made sure to clean our apartment before leaving. We will definitely become repeat clients of Lia!”
“Nico was so great!! Chana immediately warmed up to him and it was so obvious how much Nico truly loves dogs! He sent a bunch of photos and updates of Chana having a blast with him :)”
“Charlee was wonderful! She took amazing care of our puggle, who is lovable, but also very high energy and head strong. We really appreciated the care and consideration she showed our dog and our home.”
“Melisa is incredible with my pup. She sends the best photos, is very responsive and is even able to get him to take his medicine! Henri adores her so very much! Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with cats and they felt like sisters to me. I enjoy spending time with animals as they are very healing to me. I have a very flexible and open schedule at the moment for your pet sitting needs. I look forward to meeting your furry children :) I follow the instructions and notes given by clients or friends very carefully. I understand the boundaries the animal sets and I let it come to me when it’s ready.

This was Raksha’s second time with Olivia, and I couldn’t be happier! I was traveling for the weekend, and Olivia stayed at my place to look after her. Raksha absolutely adores her, and it’s clear that she’s in great hands. Olivia followed all her care instructions perfectly, was always responsive and communicative, and made sure Raksha was comfortable and well cared for. She’s also incredibly thoughtful and respectful of my home, leaving everything spotless and organized. It’s such a relief knowing Raksha is in such good hands whenever I’m away. I couldn’t recommend Olivia enough and would absolutely book with her again!
Juliana was amazing with Sky! We didn’t worry about Sky at all while we were gone. She got plenty of attention and love, and we received lots of photos and updates from Juliana while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her. We’ll definitely have her watch Sky again!
I had to leave the house before Jewel arrived and returned after she left, so it is a great relief to know I can always have confidence that she will be there for my boys when I cannot. She is reliable, responsible, and always takes good care of my beloved boys, giving me updates and photos, which makes my long work days feel shorter.
. We are two very neurotic dog mommies who absolutely adore our babies. Keeping that in mind, it’s very hard for us to find sitters that live up to our expectations. Well, we are very happy to say, Stephanie does. She is warm & caring, professional, and able to go the extra mile (like administering medicine and following our special desires). All in all, we’re happy to say we recommend Stephanie with absolutely no reservations.
Lexi took phenomenal care of Ollie while we were out of town for the week. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on how Ollie was doing each day. She treated our home with respect and left it tidy upon departure. We would love to book with her again for future trips!
Five stars all around! Madison was lovely to work with, they were thoughtful, incredibly friendly, and proactive with communication. They took amazing care of not only Sabzi, but our apartment as well--my husband and I were grateful to come back home from our travels to a happy, relaxed pup. Would absolutely book Madison again in a heartbeat. TYSM :)
I get super nervous & am very very particular with who I let into my home to care for Zeus because of a couple of previous bad experiences. From the start, I could tell Samantha was going to be amazing. And she was INCREDIBLE. She was communicative, followed alllll of my neurotic instructions, left my space in pristine condition, and really went above & beyond. I actually think my dog might have a crush on her so I cannot recommend Samantha enough. Part of me wants to gatekeeper bc she was that good, but everybody deserves to have peace of mind when they have somebody caring for their fur baby and Samantha provided that and more. Thank you SO much 🥹

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodhaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodhaven is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 19,022 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodhaven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Woodhaven walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Woodhaven maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Woodhaven choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
